South Korea’s fiscal trends reflect its strong economic fundamentals. The late 1990s saw surpluses, peaking at 4% in 2000, supported by rapid industrialization and export-led growth. The 2008 financial crisis and the pandemic caused temporary deficits, with a peak of -2.2% in 2020.
Projections for 2029 suggest a modest surplus of 0.2%, underscoring South Korea’s resilience and prudent fiscal management, even amid global uncertainties.
